The Eyes Are the Best Part: Deluxe Limited Edition by Monika Kim

Some books whisper. This one bites.

Crying in H-Mart meets My Sister, the Serial Killer in this fiercely original feminist psychological horror—a chilling, unforgettable portrait of a young Korean-American woman unraveling into something far darker.

Ji-won’s world is coming apart. Her Appa is gone. Her Umma is heartbroken and, suddenly, dating George—a smug, condescending man who ogles Asian waitresses and treats Ji-won’s family like an afterthought. Her grades are slipping. Her dreams have turned to blood. And in those dreams, there are eyes. Succulent blue eyes. Eyes exactly like George’s.

What follows is violent, gorgeous, and impossible to put down—a story that cuts deep into misogyny, fetishization, and the ache of living between two cultures, all wrapped in a razor-sharp horror that lingers long after the last page.

The critics agree. This is a Bram Stoker Award Winner, a Shirley Jackson Award Finalist, and one of TIME Magazine’s 100 Must-Read Books of 2024. The New York Times Book Review called it “violent, smart, gruesome and wildly original.”

This is the Deluxe Limited Edition—a true collector’s treasure with stenciled edges, a full-color quote page, and an exclusive excerpt from MOLKA. A physical book worth holding. Worth keeping. Worth showing off on your shelf.

Perfect for a stormy night when the sea is loud and you want a story with teeth. Come browse, or let us wrap one up for you. We think you’ll be talking about this one long after you’ve turned the final page.
